Production of aromatic hydrocarbons (arenes) like benzene, toluene and xylenes. Earlier the bulk of arenes were obtained from coal tar, but now they are derived from petroleum by the process of reforming. Increasing the octane number of straight-run gasoline by increasing the proportion of aro..

The principle of electrolysis can be applied to many important processes of industrial or commercial importance. Some of these are described belo..

Ceramics are: Lighter, stiffer and corrosion resistant. They are brittle because of strong directional bonds. So they shatter rather than deform. The electrons in ceramics are tightly held because of covalent bonds. There are no mobile electrons to conduct current. Therefore ceramics are good..

To provide the required protection at the minimum cost, linear programming is used. This technique is useful to cause maximum damage to the enemy with minimum fuel/cos..

While catching a moving cricket ball, a player lowers his hands after catching the ball. Automobiles are provided with spring systems to reduce the damage to the vehicle when it receives a shock. A man falling from a certain height gets injured more severely when he falls on concrete when c..

The knowledge of viscosity and its variation with temperature, helps us select a suitable lubricant for a given machine. Viscosity of organic liquids such as proteins and cellulose, helps us calculate their molecular weight and determine their shape. The knowledge of viscosity helps in stud..

The smallest lasers used for telephone communication over optical fibres have as their active medium a semiconducting gallium arsenide crystal about the size of a pin-hea..
